AG Barr Defends Trump in Oval Office “Your Declaration of Border Emergency is CLEARLY AUTHORIZED”
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 3/15/19 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/15/2019 2:45:08 PM PDT by cotton1706

On Friday Attorney General Bill Barr sided with President Trump. Barr said the president “absolutely has the right to declare a national emergency on the southern border there. He says the veto is the right thing to do. And the declaration will hold up in a court of law.

AG Bill Barr: Mr. President your declaration of an emergency on the southern border was clearly authorized under the law and consistent with past precedent… The humanitarian and security crisis that we currently have right now on the border is exactly the type of emergency that presidents are permitted to address.

Ann Coulter weighed in.

"CLEARLY LAWFUL" — Attorney General Bill Barr on border emergency declaration. But I'm sure constitutional scholars Rand Paul & Lisa Murkowski know better. https://t.co/rd9ojWlTVs — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) March 15, 2019

Barr’s public defense of Trump’s Border National Emergency
could haunt both the Dirty Dozen GOP and ALL RAT Senators when
election time comes for them all.

There are six pending circuit court nominations, four for the 9th (CA) and two for the 2nd (NY). So the liberal hegemony is shrinking.

The three judge panels won’t be all liberal anymore.

“On Friday Attorney General Bill Barr sided with President Trump”

Finally, an AG that supports the president.

LOL...

One month after confirmation, William Barr finally supports the guy who appointed him?

Barr is a Deep State RINO.

In 1991, every Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to confirm Barr as Attorney General.

That was the same gang of Democrats who destroyed Robert Bork, and tried to destroy Clarence Thomas.

But they voted 8-0 to confirm William Barr!

Holder actually said he was Obama’s wingman....can u imagine if President Trump actually had that type of support from his AG? What he could actually accomplish?

A ludicrous analogy. First, there’s a big difference between them voting for an AG which almost always gives deference to a presidents pick unless the guys an axe murderer. Hasn’t been the case for a SCOTUS nominee in decades.

Second, Barr has a clean record and is a by the book kinda guy which makes him a very difficult target....then or now.
The silly stuff the Dems brought up this time to try and derail him was nonsensical and ended up making them look bad.

I had to read the headline three times and watch the video twice. I also ran over to my neighbors house and let him watch it.

AG Barr did more to back the President with that one statement than Sleepy Sessions did in 2 years.

The question is if Roberts screws us which seems likely what then? So far Trump has shown no inclination to go Andrew Jackson. With 12 count em 12 GOP Senators stabbing us in the back I have to wonder.

Starting to feel confident with Barr. Also, primary the traitorous Open Borders 12.

There is a lot of time between 1991 and 2019. People change and become more aware.

Re: “A ludicrous analogy. First, there’s a big difference between them voting for an AG which almost always gives deference to a presidents pick unless the guys an axe murderer.”

LOL...

2017 - Senator Jeff Sessions - 47 “NO” votes

2018 - Acting A.G. Matthew Whitaker - multiple lawsuits to remove him from office

2001 - Senator John Ashcroft - 42 “NO” votes

1981 - Edwin Meese - 13 months to get confirmed - 31 “NO” votes

1991 - William Barr - Voice vote - no recorded "NO" votes

My list is just from memory - there are definitely more.

I can’t wait for Monday morning to call Pat Toomey’s office and stick it to him. Find one of the Dirty Dozen and blast him with this video. Now we know how really bad some of these people are. They don’t give a rats ass about this country. They don’t even care about their own self respect. I wonder how much Toomey is own by the KOCH brothers?
